A food science technical paper on impregnating yacon with aloe vera
Diversos estudios revelan que entre el 83 y 90% del peso fresco de las raíces es agua, los carbohidratos representan alrededor del 90% del peso seco de las raíces, de las cuales entre 50 y 70% son fructooligosacáridos (FOS), el resto de carbohidratos lo conforman: sacarosa, fructosa y glucosa (Flores et al. 2007, Santos et al. 1999, Franch et al. 1999).
Las raíces reservantes acumulan además: potasio, compuestos polifenólicos derivados del ácido cafeico, ...
I can't find 'raíces reservantes' in any Proz glossary, nor online. Google translates it as 'storage root' and somewhere I've seen 'rootstock'. Any thoughts gratefully received.

storage roots
"En botánica, en terminología utilizada en la descripción de las plantas, se denomina órgano reservante —más comúnmente y tradicionalmente órgano de reserva— a toda parte de la planta que pueda ser delimitada morfológicamente y que esté adaptada para cumplir la función de almacenamiento temporal de sustancias de reserva como pueden ser: carbohidratos u otros nutrientes, y agua [...]
Provenientes de la raíz
Son llamadas raíces carnosas, raíces reservantes o raíces de almacenamiento (raíces suculentas1 si la proporción de agua es muy alta).
Ejemplos de raíces reservantes. (A) Nabo, Brassica rapa var. rapa (B) Celidonia menor, Ranunculus ficaria, (C) Rutabaga, Brassica napobrassica, (D) Batata, Ipomoea batatas, (E) Rabanito, Raphanus sativus, (F) Zanahoria, Daucus carota."
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Órganos_reservantes_en_las_pla...
"A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water [...]
In common parlance, underground storage organs may be generically called roots, tubers, or bulbs, but to the botanist there is more specific technical nomenclature:
True roots:
Tuberous root or root tuber — e.g. Dahlia
Storage taproot — e.g. carrot"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_organ
"Storage roots: these roots are modified for storage of food or water, such as carrots and beets. They include some taproots and tuberous roots."

tuberous roots
storage roots is also a possibility, see:
A ****tuberous root or storage root****, is a modified lateral root, enlarged to function as a storage organ. The enlarged area of the root-tuber, or storage root, can be produced at the end or middle of a root or involve the entire root. It is thus different in origin but similar in function and appearance to a stem tuber. Examples of plants with notable tuberous roots include the sweet potato, cassava, and dahlia.
Root tubers are perennating organs, thickened roots that store nutrients over periods when the plant cannot actively grow, thus permitting survival from one year to the next. The massive enlargement of secondary roots typically represented by Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas), have the internal and external cell and tissue structures of a normal root, they produce adventitious roots and stems which again produce adventitious roots.[10]

Compare with the equivalent page in Spanish.
Un tubérculo es un tallo subterráneo del subsuelo modificado y engrosado donde se acumulan los *****nutrientes de reserva**** para la planta. Posee una yema central de forma plana y circular.

The two terms, raíz reservante (or de reserva) and raíz tuberosa, also exist in Spanish, and are similarly more or less synonymous.
